Reserve enables its users to convert their currency, which may have been affected negatively due to rising inflation, into the US dollars through RSV (Reserve stablecoin).
According to CoinMarketCap, the RSR crypto is an ERC-20 token, and it was launched in 2019 via an initial exchange offering (IEO). The main purpose of the RSR crypto is to act as a governance token for Reserve protocol.
The RSR crypto also acts as a backstop for RSV holders if the collateral token defaults. To take this kind of insurance, the holders need to stake on any RSV or divide the RSR crypto by staking on multiple RSVs.
Generally, stablecoins are pegged to the US dollars held in Reserve controlled by a stablecoin issuer or a custodian. However, Reserve Rights claims that its stablecoin is backed by a basket of several digital currencies managed through smart contracts.
